Thx for help
I don't think you can findout what size the disc is after it has been burnt, i don't think you can even tell with the original wii disc. The standalone drive will not see the disc. It is the software(Raw dump 2.0) that sees the disc. It is because of the way the disc has been burnt/encoded (obviously to slow down pirating).
As for your problem, you haven't state many details. My suggestion would be to double check the size of your ISO dump file. Compare these to the file sizes on the very first post of this forum. The stated sizes are exactly what your ISO dump file should be. Have you had back-up discs work in your Wii since you've installed the Wii Key?

Teamgatch, your PC is plenty strong. The DL disc may have been the issue.
Everyone:
1-Be sure you are using one of the LG drives listd on page #1 (some of the newer drives may have another letter at the end of the model number, mine did when I bought it).
2-I am personally using Taiyo Yuden DVD-R, because they were highly recommended for PS2 backups. I tried it for the Wii and they work great. Other brands may be hit or miss. Others can post what they use, but I think (my own opinion) that DVD-R are to be used, not DVD+R.
3-Slow down your burn speed to 2 or 2.4
4-Slow down your burn speed to 2 or 2.4

Also, what about DVD+RW? Are they usable?

http://www.wiikey.com.cn/ - Official Wii Key Website
According to the official website of the Wii Key modchip, it is compatible with DVD-RW's.
Personally myself, I don't like using re-writable media, they seem to be very dodgy.

i didnt think it was the setup ..pc is strong alright but dumping still stops at least 3 times per images. i had to stay and watch it. after 18hours non stop and 3hrs sleep early his morning these was the result.
again thanks to bunny c for the tutorial
win xp pro amd 64bit serice pack 2 net framework2 loaded using rawdump2
prince of persia ...need for speed carbon...wii play....wii sport...gt pro....ssx...red steel..wing island....rampage....sonic..tournament fishing...downhill jam...excite truck.....still goin...bummer...i could do alot more but work gets in the way....all images are OK OK OK .all images are burnt on lg DVD-R,princo-r, tdk -r and sony -r @2x @4x @10 @12 speed
NERO 7ultra was used to burn all images...the resulting backup dvds were then put thru another pc.
now its time to backup THE backup...i used Alcohol 120, Nero 7,clone cd and roxio easy cd..tried burning @2 up to @16speed ALL GOOD.

Good question. I was curious so i just did a copy of zelda on a Fujifilm DVD+RW. Worked great.
RW'S are good to use to make sure the image burns correctly
(less coasters lol). If it does, just reburn on a writable.

Hi all.
Although I have the correct drives, I have the same problem as SquallSG. Anyone knows how to solve this?

I have had no luck finding any of the LG DVD DVD-Rom drives locally (* LG-8164b,LG-8163b, LG-8162b,LG-8161b) that are used for dumping the wii games.
Will the LG DVD writer GSAH42N be able to read the original wii disks- as these I can find locally?

Sorry saint3399 but that model wont work, and these 4 LG drives aren't sold in stores... Goto http://Newegg.com/ and you can purchase the 8164B DVD-ROM drive for $17.99 (US only). BB=Beige and BK=Black so the model# @ newegg.com is 8164BB, hope this helps...

I was wondering if it was possible to use and external drive casing for the LG drive used to read the wii games? I have no more room in my computer to add another drive.

Hey guys, just incountered a problem. I tried a search but no luck.
When i go to play my backup of Blazing Angel squadron wwll, i get this screen

My system is US and so is the Game.
It only happens with this game. Should I take the update?

yeah the update should be fine if both the wii and the system are of the same region. The issue with super paper mario update was that the games was of the US and the consols were PAL.

Great, thanx
Has there been any incidents on US consoles playing PAL and getting bricked?

no not with super paper mario, it was only the PAL systems but if the game itself is offering an update I would make sure it matches my system. I also heard if the game offers an update, you can just go to settings and update there first without the game and it will work

great tut bunny_c!!!
got a Wii about 2 weeks ago and started searching the net for modchip info almost straight away and came across this tutorial.
so i went out and bought a:
GDR-8164BK DVD Rom Drive
Pioneer 111D DVD Burner
Verbatim DVD-R Discs
WiiKey Modchip
TriWing Screw Driver
and what do you know, it worked like a charm!
only question i have is when making gamecube discs (for emulators and things) if it will fit, can i burn to a CD-R or does it have to be a DVD-R. I know you can with Xbox so i thought it may work with Wii...? or when you make a GC iso does it automatically make it 1.35GB?
oh and ive been searching a lot, and i will get there, but does anyone know of a good website with info about emulators for GC?

It has to be a DVD-R (Gamecube discs are 1.35GB) and CD-R are only 700MB so you will have to use a DVD-R.

bro
i read thru the forums for a few hours and came up to a conclusion that im lucky after all. it seems that our american bros on maxconsole have more pressing matters to sort out eg which modchip,media,burn soft and a host of other problem.
DOUBLE TROUBLE!!!!my mate lend me his spare lg8164(it was black so i thought it would be better LOL LOL)now, both drive i have are stopping but producing great back ups. the drive worked mint with him while using netframework ver2.2 instead of ver2.
lucky for me i got free modchip(wiikey clone only),a$31 lg drive and i use dodgy lg DVDR worth 35cents each. i burnt at all different speed and used 4 different software. all 19 backups are great. im not so desperate anymore now that i got only 22games to back up.
with the 2 drives,the process would probably take a week so if anybody can suggest any fix for the rawdump2 error, it would be great
ly appreciated.
THIS FORUM HELPED...THANKS HEAPS
